looking back, I really d o like this- it's very calvin klien/jil sander meets marni
I don't understand why it was considered right for this label however. it's much to cold and sharp for chloe

chloe on crack and with anger management problems
what happened to the chloe girl . She was that cute it girl , you would see smiling down the street. Now she is angry , a loser , and doesnt care. In short these clothes are hideous and i think ,a chloe is a house which caters to the masses , and the masses arent going to be any of this sh*t . I give him a year max, like facchinetti at gucci ..there is nothing french , girly, cute about any of this. Those boots look like nazi boots.......

catryn horn ...the best and most accurate critique in my opinion said the following ...(all from nytimes.com)
PARIS, March 4 — In the constant to and fro of the French collections, Olivier Theyskens established a new look at Nina Ricci, while Paulo Melim Andersson turned the feminine Chloé into a puzzling abstraction.
http://javascript<b></b>:pop_me_up2...00,scrollbars=yes,toolbars=no,resizable=yes')
Jean-Luce Hure for The New York Times
CHLOE: A silk T-shirt dress with metallic embroidery.
Both designers are in new jobs — Mr. Theyskens left Rochas when it closed, and Mr. Andersson comes from Marni — and both said they wanted to create clothes for young women.
Well. There isn’t a soul in fashion who wouldn’t like to see a designer fulfill that promise. We’d all like to know what shapes and proportions truly express a contemporary attitude. Mr. Andersson, however, reverted to looks that have been in fashion for a while, especially at Marni.
By this, one means the loose shift drizzled with metallic bits and the intentionally awkward skirt worn with a top that makes a stylistic lunge at futurism (with a shiny or plastic-looking fabric). Mr. Andersson, who succeeds Phoebe Philo, managed to get the shapes right, even if the collection looked more springlike than wintry, but he needs to find Chloé’s French soul.

Nothing will ever beat for me the just passed winter season's Chloé collection (the one where Stam fell 
). But this is actually not bad at all! To all that say it's no Chloé, i disagree, i mean.... i think it's classic Chloé gone to a new direction. Yes Yvan was great, but this is actually interesting (and let's not forget Louis Vuitton and MiuMiu borefest this season).
I predict that these girlie combat midboots will be a bit hit next season, as well as the same boots ending at the ankle, as well as those bulky shoes. The very first zipper dress on Sasha is very interesting as well as Snejana's coat with paint on it. The coats are lovely too. The only hideous, truly hideous thing in the collection was that green fur thing that didn't really belong in this collection!

Oh....I am no longer a Chloe girl (heart breaking here) 
I really don't like this. Some bits remind me of a first year fashion student project (my first year design stuff has been locked away from sight and there it will stay!
)
I'm not saying its rubbish, I'm just saying I don't think its Chloe. But as that article pointed out, it did take Philo a good few seasons to get into it. I remain an optimist. But I won't be saving my pennies for a Chloe item this season. Ah...I remember those years ago when I got my Paddington before anyone else I knew had one....(sigh) Maybe I'll take it out tomorrow (even though there's a paddington backlash going on)

Looking at the collection as a whole its not horrible but its not Chole. The orange bag is cute. The shoes are really bad. Overall it was a let down

Gosh, I'm trying to be open-minded but I just don't see Chloe. I have always regarded Chloe as romantic and carefree and I just don't see it here. I don't understand making Chloe the new Marni. Maybe it will take time but yeah...
Initially I agreed with the notion that this collection wasn't the typical Chloe girl clothing.
HOWEVER - after watching the style.com video, seeing the clothes in motion and greater detail and hearing peoples opinions I have to say that I actually love this collection 
.
Chloe is moving foward. It's developed a new aesthetic and although it may be discomforting for Chloe fans to watch at first - eventually people will come to appreciate the collection.
I really love this collection now - it's still Chloe but it isn't bohemian or 60's/70's mod, which we're used to seeing at Chloe. I really commend this change - after all, fashion is about CHANGE and innovation.
damn all you people longing for the nostalgia of Chloe's past !!
